Sound Off: For March 8, 2014

Isn’t it amazing the silence coming from Washington, D.C. about the Obama handling of the Russian/Ukraine deal. We’re not hearing from Schumer, Gillibrand, Tonko. The silence is really deafening.

Hats off to the city of Troy Public Works department. They’re the only ones who don’t treat me like garbage.

We’ve got people that are objecting to traffic circles up in Malta and Ballston Spa. They don’t like traffic circles. And they make all kinds of accusations against traffic circles. They claim it’s not safe enough. Some kind of danger. But the reality is that fatal collisions are reduced by 90 percent by traffic circles. And they are much better for everybody.

Never in my lifetime did I thought I’d say this. But I don’t trust my government and I’m really scared of my government.

I guess the patrons at Kokopelli’s really wanted the police to watch the fight like everyone else. Offer medical assistance when it was over and call it a night. What a joke.

I am glad every day I am strong-minded and not weak-minded to allow something as small as a cigarette determine what I do in life and have it ruin my health.

My family and I recently attended the Troy High pops concert on Feb. 27 at the Troy Middle School auditorium. In all the years of performing, and attending music concerts for Troy schools, I would have to say by far this was the most entertaining concert I have ever attended.

All Americans do have the right to bear arms. Why does the church have to raffle off a high powered weapon. I thought the idea of all churches is to preach love and peace to everyone.

I am calling to thank you for putting the notice in Sound Off about the phone number to call for a residential phone book. I just called and they’re going to send me one.

You’ve got to laugh at the hypocrisy of our government. John Kerry telling the Russians that they can’t go into a sovereign nation the way they did. Meanwhile, we’re in about six or seven other nations and we’re crushing them.

I’d like to know why you can go to jail for stealing a pack of gum but you can walk off with an expensive shopping cart and nobody seems to care.
